Language Parasites: Of Phorontology

Meer over het boek

Exploring the concept of self as influenced by external forces, the book delves into the idea that identity may be shaped by an invasive "parasite" known as language. Drawing on continental philosophy, it questions traditional notions of subjects and objects, introducing innovative concepts like "postmortemism" and "hyperhistory." Through a blend of speculative philosophy and 'Pataphysics, the author navigates the intersections of language, culture, and aesthetics, suggesting that understanding the voice of the parasite requires transcending anthropocentric binaries.
